Here is how I made this heat-embossed and watercoloured card. The heat embossing and watercolouring makes it really special.

Preparing

Get all the supplies. I used an A6 blank card, a floral stamp, heat embossing ink pad, silver embossing powder and an anti-static bag.

First mark the width of your card on a piece of white cardstock.

Use the anti-static bag to get the surface ready for heat-embossing. This will allow the embossing powder to stick only on the stamped image.

Stamp the floral image on the 2 corners of the marked surface, add the embossing powder and heat emboss using the heat tool.

Matt the card with some pastel card.

Fussy cut the embossed florals, trim the edges and affix them to the card using foam tape to add a bit of dimension.

Finish
